On April 16, Yumiko Ono, the 70-year-old manager of Deai Tsukutsuku, allegedly dispatched a prostitute, 69, to a hotel in the ward to provide honban, or full sex, which is a violation of the Anti-Prostitution Law.

Not overlooked by evening tabloid Nikkan Gendai (May 22) is the fact that the prostitute in question is not the oldest on the roster of Teiai Tsukutsuku, whose 13 female staff members are aged between 37 and 72.
